It's probably worth noting that the original Nook is an e-ink reader
that does support ePub. Also, the Nook Color is basically an android
tablet optimized for reading, so although it has an LCD based screen,
the glass is far less reflective than a typical tablet/monitor. The Nook
Color also benefits from being based on Android, which opens up the
possibility of installing ASE (Android Scripting Environment), which
*would* allow you to write python scripts on the device. (Although ASE
certainly falls short of a full Android dev environment).
